The wires are gonna be hidden when done :)
Im gonna make a shelf on the left and right side on the woofer box and the woofer is gonna be aligned and not tilted like on the pic :P

And some other updates:
I bought a heat shield to protect the air filter from water and dirt
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/..._2439417_n.jpg
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/..._7177818_n.jpg
And i removed the SRS warning light bulb since the system is ok :P
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/..._2748813_n.jpg
Ive got a new set of lightbulbs since the right one from my last was gone.
Heres a regular Osram bulb that i use when the good ones get broken
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/..._2339435_n.jpg
and heres the new set in
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/..._1457463_n.jpg
Its regular H7 55w bulbs with gas and blue glass.
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/..._2465114_n.jpg
I need to get my hands on regular EU spec heads and take out the reflectors change em with the JDM reflectors (is that the right word?)
The reflectors inside the JDM heads are lighting up the wrong side since the drive on the wrong side in Japan. For now ive adjusted the left one down so it wont bother oncoming vehicles
Im gonne use Meguiars plastic cover repair kit and fix up the plastic glass. Scratches everywhere :P
And here is my new background on my laptop and PS3 :)

Not much activity in this thread but im postin anyways :P
I might buy a new double DIN DVD/Nav player, its brand new and only test fitted once in a Saab.
It has:
- Bluetooth handsfree/music streaming
- MP3/WMA player
- DVD Player
- Navigation
- iPod/USB/SD music playback
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...g/DSC01064.jpg
But poor audio quality and complicated cd menu does make me think twice.
Perhaps i should buy a Pioneer or Alpine double DIN player and get a proper one.
I coulnd even adjust the subbwoofer level on this one.
The screen itself is good and audio when watching DVD is good. But thats about it. Its cheap but....
I would say: get a proper one. The things you are mentioning will just be a pain in the ass later and you will regret!
Yup And im noticing it more today. When driving while "watching" a movie a can hear the noise from the alternator when reving! FFS.
tsk tsk you shouldnt be watching a movie while driving haha
LoL Shh :P I got passengers ;)
Not much to update besides that i rebuilded my one-piece heads to lhd.
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC01169.jpg
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC01174.jpg
RHD and LHD reflectors are praticly the same but lights up the road diffrent.
I might cutsomize em so i can use mye adjuster motor sp i can adjust the headlights from the inside of the G again. In Japan this isn required like it is in Europe.
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC01176.jpg
I need to make a identical hole on the one piece like the one on the upper housing
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC01162.jpg
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...e/DSC01164.jpg
The adjuster :)
[QUOTE=ThaShiZnitH;633006]Not much to update besides that i rebuilded my one-piece heads to lhd.
where did you get the lhd lenses? are they available for purchase?
They are from the same headlights thats stock on my G.
If u search on ebay germany u might find some.
Nice, I need to do this with my heads, or just do a projector retrofit, IDK...

Got my new tails from Taiwan
Old tinted and dirty vs. brand new
http://galant.csj.no/thomas/1+1.jpg
Both installed
http://galant.csj.no/thomas/2nye.jpg
We discovered that these tails from AutoDepoLights E-Bay store are not original tails but replicas. The original is made by Koito and these had no branding on them or parts number from MMC.
But these looks better with a diffrent style when the lights are on
Taiwan fake tails
http://galant.csj.no/thomas/imorket.jpg
Koito tails
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...n/DSCN0225.jpg
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...iwanLykter.png
wait so the one on the right is the original and the ones on the left are replicas i have the ones on the right and wondered why others lid up more
These are fakes from Tawian with bigger area with light
http://galant.csj.no/thomas/imorket.jpg
These are stock 3rd gen tails thats stock on EU/JDM Galants, produced på Koito Japan
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...n/DSCN0225.jpg
I also noticed that the glass on the Taiwan tails are thinner aswell but they fits just as good as the stock ones :)
the whole time i was thinking there was something wrong with mine lol
LoL :)
I love the new looks with the diffrent lighting :) Cant w8 to get the fender painted and the bumper fixed so i can take some new updated pro-pictures of the G :)
i like the new ones too but are the flares oem? im getting the old style front bumper soon just need the middle bottom piece
Jupp :)

Diffrence between stock OEMs on the right and Taiwan copys on the left side

http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSC01651.jpg
im confused about your tail lights mine are jdm kioto and light up like your taiwan tailights?
My stock tails are from Koito and are 100% the same as they have in Japan. Perhaps Koito made some changes?? Are u shure ur tails are from Koito? Do u have the parts number? Starts with MR on the back of the tails
A guy hitted my G the other day while reversing. Caught him doin it! He was actually trying to drive off! (Look at nr 4)
So now i got 4 things to do before the big car gathering in Bergen, Norway
Nr.1:
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...g/DSC01721.jpg
I hitted a big iceblock while driving in the dark so i didnt see it. Its only a crack and the paint is chipping of because the bumper is to flexible.
Hopefully im getting this fixed when the two next points are beeing fixed.
Nr.2:
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...g/DSC01720.jpg
This is a 2 year old dent from when my ex girlfriend crashed my G badly.
Got a new fender and its gonna be painted this month hopefully
Nr.3:
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...g/DSC01719.jpg
HitNrun dent. Dont know who the fuck did this!
Got a new fender on this side also and its gonna be painted this month hopefully
Nr.4:
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...g/DSC01718.jpg
Look at the first lines in this post
That sucks. Hope the guy who hit you would pay for the damage.
He is gettin an asswooping if not! Got his number, name, license plate and 2 vitnesses!
Lucky you got the persons information, I never found out who backed up into my car 3x in the mall...Quote:

So I bought a wagon I could use while I fixed up the Sport. Due to work and issues between me and my kids mum I haven't done much. It's not road legal anymore because the states driving department fucked up with roadtax payments the police took my license plates.
Also my coolant is leaking out right outside the firewall because the pipe that goes into the heating for the fan in the car have to be replaced. It bursted 2 winters ago since it was about -25c outside and my coolantmix was for -15c :-/
So I'm parting out the wagon next year so I can replace the following parts:
- Front bumper. Old one is cracked
- Sideskirts. My ex scratched up one side and the other side was scratched when I bought it.
- Some interior parts
- New splash shield under the engine
- New pipe for coolant I the heatingunit
Heres my temporary ride. I hate Auto!!! :-P

Oh jeez man. Thats a whole lot to happen. At least you still have a car of some sort though. Freakin crims always trying to pull one over on people.
Jupp. Now she have no wheels on only standing on struts or what the hell it's called in English :-P W8in for the outside temp to raise a bit more so I can start to take our the dashboard.
I'm gonna send my coilovers to a shop for overhauling if the price is good. Repaint is getting done when I'm done parting out the wagon. Hopefully I get enough cash for the repaint then. Dunno if I'm gonna wait with the engine swap (4G63 to 6G72). Time will show. I only hope I can prioritize the G enough to get her ready for the annual car show in may-june
4g63->6g72?!?!?!?! o_O
Oops. 6A13 it's called :-) 2.5 SOHC
ok I was about to say.
6A13 FTW! Wagon looks gooood!
6A13 without TT and DOCH so it's not that much For The Win :-P I want the 3.0 DOHC engine with 200hp from Sigma/NA 3KGT but the gearbox us on the wrong side. Eventually if Mitsubishi Norway stops beeing retarded and car customization rules here in Norway gets loosened up I want to throw in a 6A13TT with AWD :-D Or I could settled with the DOHC 4G63T from Evo 7-8-9 :-P
6A13 and 4G64 GDi (DOHC) are the two other engines besides the 4G63 that came in the G8 in Europe. There was also a horrific diesel engine but that wasn't sold in Norway :-P
I really want the GDi since it has great powerband. 225nm at 3.500 compared to the V6 with 224nm at 4.500 :-) But that engine is hard to find in good condition and it need TLC all the time since it does not like the octane we have here. The fuel quality in Japan is much better. The problem is that in the intakemanifold its getting clogged up with soot.
Hit and runs are the worst..I've witnessed 3. All were parked cars, and one was a police car outside of court..not to mention the police station is next door lol. Sorry to hear about your situation, that's a nice wagon you picked up for the meantime.
Oh, I see about the 6A13. Well, if you don't mind uprooting your life an coming to the US, our customization laws are easier to deal with, but we don't have cool legnums and worldspec Galants either though.
NVM, you probably just wanna stay put lol!
U could atleast rebuild one to world-spec and still stand out. Over Here its swarming with Galants with VR-4 look so it takes more to stand out from the crowd :-P
Not much done here sadly. I've changed the front fenders and changed the heating core for the heating unit. And I'm most likely gonna overhaul the gearbox again since for some reason a hole in the clutch house appeared and I don't know what happened. So I'm gonna pull the gearbox apart and check it out. Got also an electric issue so I have to change the dynamo most likely. The red wagon i have is being parted up anyway so I'm gonna take the dynamo from that car :-)
Here's a little throwback from when she's was on the road <3 :-P
